- Once the butter is adequately softened, place it in a mixing bowl. Add the powdered sugar, honey, and cinnamon to the bowl.
- Use an electric mixer to blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If you are using unsalted butter, consider adding a quarter teaspoon of salt for enhanced flavor.
